Redskins re-signed NT Ziggy Hood.

Hood was one of the worst run stoppers in the league last year, but will be back after starting 14 games. He should see a reduced 2017 role on base downs. Hood is entering his age-30 season. Mar 15 - 6:31 PM

The Washington Post's Mike Jones believes DE Ziggy Hood may have won a roster spot Friday night.

Hood started the third preseason game with Chris Baker sidelined with a leg injury, and he produced two tackles for loss and a sack. Signed as essentially roster filler in February, Jones said Hood has been "one of the biggest surprises" of camp. The former first-round pick should open the season with a big role in the rotation.

A first-round pick of the Steelers in 2009, Hood signed a big contract with the Jaguars prior to the 2014 season, but he landed on injured reserve with a foot injury at the end of training camp last September. He made two appearances with the Bears after being released from injured reserve in October. Hood worked out for the Redskins earlier this month. He will compete for a rotational role in camp.

Hood signed a four-year, $16 million deal with Jacksonville in 2014 but was released in October. He appeared in two games for the Bears before being cut again last month. A fringe NFL player at this point, Hood is 29 years old. Tue, Jan 19, 2016 07:33:00 PM

"It feels great," Reed said of his troublesome toe. "It’s starting to get way better now. I’m just making sure I can do everything I can in my power to make sure it’s comfortable when I do get back on the field." The tight end also thinks he will be ready to play in at least one of the preseason games, but he admits that is "up to the coaches and training staff." Reed's injury history is a major concern, but he has the upside to pay off his TE4 draft slot.
